What motivates violence? How can good and compassionate people hurt
and kill others or themselves? Why are people much more likely to
kill or assault people they know well, rather than strangers? This
provocative and radical book shows that people mostly commit
violence because they genuinely feel that it is the morally right
thing to do. In perpetrators' minds, violence may be the morally
necessary and proper way to regulate social relationships according
to cultural precepts, precedents, and prototypes. These moral
motivations apply equally to the violence of the heroes of the
Iliad, to parents smacking their child, and to many modern murders
and everyday acts of violence. Virtuous Violence presents a
wide-ranging exploration of violence across different cultures and
historical eras, demonstrating how people feel obligated to
violently create, sustain, end, and honor social relationships in
order to make them right, according to morally motivated cultural
ideals.

Bringing together work composed from 1890 to 1924, the nineteen
pieces collected in the posthumously published Last Essays (1926)
serve as a primer to Conrad's wide interests and to the varieties
of his style. This edition, supported by an extensive textual
apparatus, brings together various prose pieces, including
reminiscences, reviews, essays on the sea and politics, as well as
several miscellaneous items, including his 'Congo Diary' and the
other notebook he kept in Africa in 1890. The introduction situates
these writings in Conrad's career, offers new perspectives on
Conrad in the marketplace and as a writer of occasional prose and
traces the contemporary reception of the volume. The notes explain
literary and historical references, identify real-life places and
indicate Conrad's main sources. Early drafts and notes for several
essays are published here for the first time, making this
authoritative critical edition a major contribution to Conrad
studies.

define Judo as a fighting art and looks at how students should
practise and develop these key skills. The core techniques are

benefit of both beginner and experienced Judo players. The analysis
of each technique reflects Ray Stevens' detailed technical
knowledge and experience as a Judo player.
